Frequently asked questions
What is slope movement and how would I notice it?
Saturated hillside soil moving slowly downhill, and it usually shows in what it distorts rather than in the ground itself — a retaining wall leaning, a driveway cracking in the same place each year, doors that stop closing squarely, fence posts drifting out of line. It is gradual and cumulative.
Does prolonged rain matter more than intense rain here?
For stability, considerably more. A short intense storm runs off; several days of steady rain saturates the slope and adds weight while reducing the soil's strength. The dangerous pattern is the wet week rather than the dramatic afternoon.
What should I expect from a basement built in the 1940s?
That every modern assumption is absent. No damp-proofing, no perimeter drain, and grading that has had eighty years to settle. Everything depends on keeping water away at the surface, and on a hillside that means paying attention to what arrives from above.
